Can the FuriosaAI RNGD run Minitron 8B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Minitron 8B on the FuriosaAI RNGD

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 199k 58.7-71.4 t/s ~1.6-1.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 262k 117.5-142.8 t/s ~3.1-3.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 290k 209.8-254.9 t/s ~5.6-6.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the FuriosaAI RNGD run Minitron 8B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~209.8-254.9 tok/s and fits up to 290k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.6-6.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 290k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
